An image processing apparatus includes: a blurring amount estimation unit configured to estimate a blurring amount of a medical image including a biological body motion of a subject; and a blurring correction processing unit configured to perform blurring correction processing so as not to remove a screen motion caused by the biological body motion, on a basis of the blurring amount. This configuration makes it possible to correct blurring without removing a screen motion caused by a biological body motion. Thus, an optimum image for observing a biological body motion can be obtained.
